In addition to sometimes making child protective service workers ill at ease, sexual behaviour problems (SBPs) in children are a source of concern due to the harm these behaviours can potentially cause. Based on an explanatory model adapted from Boisvert et al., this study set out to identify the factors differentiating children with SBPs from other children cared for by child protective services. Secondary analyses were conducted with data obtained from the Quebec Incidence Study on situations investigated by child protective services in 2008 (Étude d'incidence québécoise sur les situations évaluées en protection de la jeunesse en 2008). The sample consisted of 1,020 children aged 2 to 12 with a substantiated report to child protective services. Children with SBPs (n = 72) were compared to children without SBPs (n = 948) based on several personal and familial variables using univariate, then multivariate analyses. The final logistic regression model indicates that children with SBPs are more likely to show a variety of adjustment problems, be reported for substantiated sexual abuse, and have a parent who underwent a placement episode in childhood. Conversely, they are less likely to be reported for substantiated psychological maltreatment. The discussion covers the implications of the findings for intervention in a protective services context.

Vox dei, vox demonium marks a cursory attempt to consider a kind of “sound thinking” largely singular to horror film. The essay focuses in particular on the status of “metaphysical subjectivity” as it is modulated by the “sound thinking” of such horror films as The Exorcist, The Amityville Horror, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, amongst others dealing specifically with audio conceptualizations of demonic possession and invocation.

The focus of the present article is on the French-language translations and adaptations of Our Bodies, Ourselves (OBOS), a classic of feminist literature published in the United States in 1971. We explore the diversity implicit in the “we” and “us” that inform expressions like “we women” or “us women” by examining three translations and adaptations of OBOS produced in historically and geopolitically different francophone environments. These translations, we will argue, demonstrate an attempt to represent this diversity through research and writing methods informed by reflexivity and intersectionality, both of which invite women translators to reflect on their own position vis-à-vis the other women they are writing about, and to acknowledge the unequal power relationships that may exist between them. In the first part of the article, we discuss the origins of OBOS and then the French-language versions published in France and in Senegal. In the second part, we focus on intersectionality, its development within the women's movement in Quebec, and its key role in the adaptation process undertaken by a group of feminist activists currently working on the new translation of OBOS. By engaging with reflexivity and intersectionality, the translators demonstrate a willingness to take into consideration unequal power relations between women who are differently positioned vis-à-vis “we women.” Further, the case of OBOS offers a translation approach where “faithfulness” lies not in the literal retransmission of the source text, but rather in upholding the message of a political project aimed at helping women regain power over their lives.

Jacques Roubaud, like a good Oulipian, admires this literary Middle Ages that made topic and combinatorics the essential components of fiction writing. He does not hesitate, moreover, to borrow in his turn from the great narrative reservoirs already frequented by his contemporary peers. His entire work, in fact, is filled with echoes and recurrences of old motifs, which he works to dust off for the greater enjoyment of the informed reader. Among these almost forgotten motifs resurrected in the re-writing is of the hall of images, found in both the Tristan and Arthurian legends. Jacques Roubaud makes use of it on three occasions, in three different works, and thus offers a variation work that confirms the poetic affiliation of the Oulipian with the literary practices of the Middle Ages.

This article explores an encounter between sexuality on the one hand and grieving and death on the other through different manifestations of sexual functioning: impotence (erectile dysfunction, precocious or rapid ejaculation, delayed ejaculation and anejacualtion), frigidity (absence of desire, decrease of desire, anorgasmia) and vaginism. These manifestations are characterized by loss, fear, and simulacra of death in one or more of its dimensions.

Women's feelings of insecurity regarding crime appear disproportionate to the actual number of crimes committed against them. Although it is now recognized that women are as frequently crime victims as men, it is difficult to explain why they fear crime more than men do. The article posits an overall conception of violence affecting women. In considering the particular nature of crimes against women and the way their occurrence is measured, it is much easier to understand women's fear of crime. This fear has negative effects on women's mental health and quality of life. This finding could influence the development of programs aimed at preventing women's fear of crime. But since the effects of crime are far more devastating than the fear of crime, it is important that crime itself remain the main area targeted.
